As part of or in addition to classification, an embodiment may include systems and methods to create, associate, and edit intrinsic and extrinsic properties to these objects. A design engine may apply of design rules to the features described above to generate one or more solar collectors installation design alternatives, including generation of on-screen and/or paper representations of the physical layout or arrangement of the one or more design alternatives. Some embodiments may provide viewing, creating, and manipulating of multiple versions of a solar collector layout design for a particular installation worksite. The use of versions may allow analysis of alternative layouts, alternative feature classifications, and cost and performance data corresponding to alternative design choices. Version summary information providing a representative comparison between versions across a number of dimensions may be provided.

Construction site productivity capture using computer vision

Embodiments describe a method for capturing objects in action at an earthmoving site. The method includes capturing an image of a region of the earthmoving site including an object, the image being recorded as captured digital data; identifying a classification of the object using a trained algorithm existing in memory of the image capturing device; sending the classification of the object to a remote server through a network; determining a pixel location and a boundary of the object within a field of view of the image capturing device based on positions of pixels of the object in the image; sending a set of images including the image to the remote server; determining an activity being performed by the object based on an analysis of digital data associated with the classification of the object and the movement of the object at the earthmoving site; and outputting a report to a user.

The present disclosure describes system and methods for determination of building code performance. One such method comprises performing design model validation, wherein design model validation comprises entering building permit application file information and checking the building permit application file information against relevant codes and regulations, using a taxonomy or neural natural language processing techniques or artificial Intelligence; performing exchange model code checking, wherein exchange model code checking comprises using a plurality of exchange models; performing code conformance checking, wherein the code conformance checking comprises receiving a request from the exchange models and passing the building permit application file information to code checking modules configured to check building code provisions and one or more regulations per local, state, national or international requirements; performing verification reporting based on input provided from the code checking modules; and performing results reporting based on findings of the verification reporting. Other methods and systems are also provided.

SYSTEM AND PROCESS FOR CREATING A THREE-DIMENSIONAL MODEL OF A REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT SITE

There is disclosed a system and process for creating a graphical representation of a re-development location. The system can perform the process of locating a region based upon a primary criteria. Next the system can then evaluate the region in its current state based upon social criteria, and then evaluate the region in is future re-developed state based upon future social criteria. Next, the system can perform the step of evaluating the region in its current state based upon environmental criteria and also perform the step of evaluating the region in its future re-developed state based upon future environmental criteria. Next, the system can perform the step of evaluating the region in its current state based upon economic criteria, and then perform the step of evaluating the region in its future re-developed state based upon future economic criteria. Finally, the system can perform the step of presenting the re-developed site graphically via a three-dimensional representation of the re-developed location including data associated with the social criteria, the environmental criteria, and the economic criteria.

System and method for the collection of United States of America nationwide building code for all jurisdictions having authority to adopt and enforce building code for the determination of the jurisdiction with authority for building code adoption and enforcement at the location of real property and the supplying of the building code for real property to the user
20220277408 · 2022-09-01 ·

An application, implemented by a computer that compiles real property addresses and then determines which municipality or special district has jurisdiction over a particular real property address for the adoption, governing, control, and enforcement of the adopted building codes and issuance of building permits, and provides the said building codes and authority to issue permits from a proprietary national Master Database, where the building codes are stored once collected, that is monitored to ensure that any changes or new adoptions of building code or building permit authority are updated.
